From a new outlook on the price of Bitcoin to the rise of XRP, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
The senior market research analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence says Bitcoin remains on a bearish trajectory.
Mike McGlone says the price of BTC could drop all the way down to $1,500. According to McGlone, the slump “was sparked by the pump for the Bitcoin Cash hard fork. That pump that began a few weeks ago got the market a bit too offsides with speculative longs playing for the good-old days. But this is an enduring bear market.”
Ripple and XRP
After passing Ethereum to become the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ripple and XRP fans are talking about XRP’s odds of “flippening” Bitcoin next.

Twitter chatter about XRP has nearly matched that of Bitcoin in the last couple of days, according to the latest stats from Cointrendz.
Ethereum
All Ethereum-based tokens now display automatically on Coinbase Wallet, following a new upgrade. Fiat values for all coins are also displayed automatically.
Stellar
A new stablecoin called Novatti is scheduled to launch on the Stellar network on Monday.
The coin is designed to be pegged 1:1 to the Australian dollar through the company’s licensed subsidiary, Flexewallet Pty Ltd.
Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash (BCHABC) evangelist and CEO of Bitcoin.com, Roger Ver, just gave a new interview on the recent hard fork.
Ver talks about what went down and what’s to come after the split.
Tron has released an overview of the network’s progress in the last month and a half, tracking account activity and transaction volume. It highlights Tron’s $3-million donation to Binance Charity and the network’s 38% increase in the number of accounts and more.
